If you try Better Homes and Gardens Magazine, you might be able to pick up some
habenero seeds.  I've their Christmas cattledog and it has a Chilli Grower's kit,
inlcuding 80 seeds in six varieties, Pasilla Bajiu (heat rating 2), Big Jim (30cm
chillies, heat rating 7), Red and Yellow Habaneros (10), Anaheim (3) and Hungarian Hot
wax (5). Cost is $19.95.

I got the pack last year and had bundles of chillies by christmas.
